It is part of the appeal in exploring and. expanding upon it with his novels. “There's something in particular about ‘Warhammer £0,000 that I enjoy - the mix of the gothic and science fiction, he explains. “t's not just what the next book is going to be about, what they 's about where we haven't seen before, can push it next ‘This is quite different from Dan's ‘experiences at 2000AD, Britain's well- known and award-winning science ibrar iction Forum 16 FIRST AND ONLY fiction comic. Dan has written and continues to write some of their wei biggest strips, inciding Judge Dredd, and is responsibic for czeating some of 2000AD's bestloved characters, like Sinister Dexter. “2000AD is a forum for wild and sometimes wacky explorations of what comes into the parameters of science fiction,” Dan says. “Warhammer 40,000 hhas a flavour all its own. It's not so ‘much a case of finding new things as finding new ways of describing an already well-defined universe.” One series of novels written by Dan that does just that is the Eisenhorn trilogy. “It was less about the Imperium at war and more about societies and cities,” Dan tells us. ‘The stories typified by Gaunt’s Ghosts essentially dramatise the games fought on the tabletop, but itis the environment away from the battlefield that offers more ‘opportunity to develop the 44st millennium, as Dan describes. “Ifyou take things to a city, you can pretty much mirror anything in modern society. It's the stuff people know in their hearts has been there all the time, they'd just,never heard anyone describe it belore.” An example can be found in the follow-up to Eisenhorn ~ Ravenor, in which one of the main characters is a street kid, living in a hive city. Not something you'd ever encounter in the game. Characters are at the heart of Dat novels, and this is certainly the case in latest book in the Gaunt’s Ghost series, ‘Traitor General. “The plot is hurled forward by simple character choices and decisions. It all eame out of the characters,” Dan says, Traitor General begins a new sequence of events called “The Lost’, which are further developed in the next three books. These happenings are also part of the Sabbat Worlds campaign story arc. The second book of ‘The Lost’ is His Last Command. “This book will answer all the questions set-up in Traitor General, some of the answers to which are going to be quite surprising,” Dan tells us. “It’s also the second most ‘ominous title of the four books.” a f | Gaunt’s Ghosts at Gam | His Last Command, the follow-up to ‘Traitor General and the next in the | Gaunt’s Ghosts series, will be released at Games Day. Also released. will be the Sabbat Worlds Crusade background book. Charting the first | ten years of the conflict, this book will be accompanied by a huge bbat Worlds campaign map. It's iso rammed with extra background detail and cool new artwork visualising lots of stuff not seen before, like some of the alien races, Stalk Tanks, Saint Sabbat, Warmaster Slaydo and more! And the most ominous? That would be the final instalment, Only in Death, ‘which opens with ~ brace yourselves dear readers - the death of Gaunt!

With this whole raft of new books following in the wake of numerous others, there seems to be no stopping an. Ifyou've got aspirations to follow in his footsteps then he offers this advice. “Read and absorb stuff and see ‘what ideas you get, but most importantly, just write.

Andy Hoare talks to Phil Kelly, the author of the new Codex: Tyranids; Jes Goodwin, leading miniatures designer; and Roberto Cirrilo, Games Workshop's newest artist extraordinaire. herrlease of the new Codex: yranids this month provides us with ‘more than just the opportunity to ‘A manstus, used Garner rasa 18 TYRANIDS DESIGNER'S NOTES the galaxys bring the army in tine with the updated edition of Warhammer 40,000.

As Phil is a hhuge'fan ofthe race this was a golden ‘opportunity for him, ph on the ceased worl of Jngrile Prime F PACE ack, and this time it’s even spikier ROM=— “Tyranids are the ultimate bad guys" says Phil enthusiastically. He explains that this is vey they were chosen for their appearance in The Battle for Macragge. “You don't need to ‘explain who or what they are, which makes them the ideal adversary," the exact opposite of the noble Space Marines against which they are pitched in the boxed game. “We wanted a bit of change of pace, asthe Space Marines had just had thelr big release It was definitely time to switch the limelight to the gribbly side of things.” And gribbly the new codex mast certainly is. “Tyranids have been beaten on for too long ~ now i's time they beat back!” How they are going to do is down to a ite bit of clever tinkering, “The main point about the army lst was that because Andy ‘Chambers had done such a good job last time round withthe biomorph system, it didn't need reverting from seratch, Most of the changes.are cosmetic,” says Phil. He @ ‘Tyran player himself, and has had many Jong conversations with other Hive Minds, bulldiig up a picture of what players felt needed working on.

ALIEN EVOLUTION ‘With the Custom Hive lest section gone, the the customisation rules are now built into the army lst entry for each brood type. This ‘means that players no longer need to flick between different sections of the book, something no doubt you'l all appreciate! The ‘emphasis ofthe customisation has also shifted from mutants within broods to broods of mutants. "When we sat down and thought about it, we came to the conclusion thatthe Hive Mind, consisting as it does of a gestalt consciousness of billions upon billions of component brains, spread out over countless light years, is unlikely to experiment atthe level of the individual creature, or follow the * ‘progress of single beasts as they make thelrlo, lead concept artist on Codex: Tyranids, reveals pencilled oe become alien nightmares. ‘oberto joined Games s Another concept Roberto produced was the ;Wershop in 2004, and Sodus ge anatomic js. a wealth of freedom,” says Roberto, “but its mercial design experience with | important thatnew designs maintain the ‘him, hee worked in the look and fest of te race.

The Tyranids are back with a vengeance, and the brave soldiers of the Imperial Guard must drive them off, no matter the cost. For amongst their ranks is an Inquisitor with a precious secrot — a genetic virus that could destroy the Tyranid threat upon Granica once and for all. Owen Rees, long-standing Guard player who you may recognise from WD298's Desert Kidnap, takes on Phil Kelly, the author of Codex: Tyranids. ESCAPE FROM GRANICA IV Inquisitor Lord Kiuctmier of the Ordo Xenos is on the verge ofan important breakthrough that, should he complete it, will spell a biological ‘meltdown for a splinter fleet of Hive Feet Leviathan, Just as he reaches the lat stages of his research, the Tyranids launch a new offensive. ‘Lucky the brave solders ofthe Imperial Guard stand ready to buy the Inquisitor the time he needs to escape, % SET-UP Place the Inqusitor's Chimera and his shuttle 56° apart in ‘the defenders deployment zone.

Well this time itt oly well be different, inaugural Battle Report withthe new codex oF not (fm not afraid ~ much, mummy!) ‘The scenario calls for a defensive posture, Which suits most Imperial Guard forces, with the Inquisitor and his retinue racing towards. the awaiting Aquila. | am going to have to really hotfoot it across the board ~ the Inquisitor won't be able to get ted in combat for long. To help, | need some serious ass- kicking potential in his unit and, with 2,500 Points to play wit, | can indulge! This then formed my frst choice, Inquisitor Lord kKluctmier with force weapon and retinue of obligatory ablative henchmen. | slapped them ina Chimera withthe usual smoke launchers and reinforced armour. But what to back them up with? This small force needs an escort, and what could be ‘more appropriate than a tooled-up unit of Deathwatch Space Marines. Phil agreed to let me choose a Librarian from the new Codex: ‘Space Marines (a fine unofficial and sportsmanike, gentlemanly agreement), and | ‘want shopping. | selected two heavy bolters, 34 KLUCTMIER’S LAST STAND inferno botts for al a lightning claw-armed Veteran and a power fis-armed Space Marine! | reason thatthe Librarian's force aveapon combined with between five and seven power weapon attacks will be adequate to take out any monstrous creatures that thunder into my lines. These boys weigh in at ‘a massive 360 points, but i anyone is going to give those 'Nids a run for their money, it's them. | don’t normally go to town on characters and the lke, as | prfer lots of troops, but this was realy fun for a change. Besides, with Phil no doubt trying to show off all the new beasties, | needed some close combat monsters of my own, So that’s the Inquisition part now for the. rest. These troops are actually glorious speed bumps. Something | know | definitely want to ‘ako is three Leman Russ battle tanks. The Tyranids will have serous trouble geting through their armour, and secondly, | use a Drop Troop army and don't normally use these tanks. Onto the lst go all three! | know Pil wl til try and take them down, and anything wich takes the heat of my infantry can only bea good! thing ‘Three isthe magic number for mi next choice {oo: 'm taking thre platoons, armed to the teeth with special and teavy weapons. I'm ‘squeezing as many AP2 weapons out of the ‘Studio army as | can, as Pil ikes 4 Wound, 2+ Armour Save Carifexes running around loose, (Strangely, I've never been as keen.) ‘With the three tanks and three plétoons I will {form what Ical ‘Hedgehog’ formations. The idea here is simple, there is enough firepower and diferent types of weapons to deal with anything Phil can throw at each one. However, they willbe separate enough so that if Pil attacks one of them he can't just roll upa flank. Each Hedgehog formation will be able to gee the other two to lend fre support should one fall, | am in no doubt thatthe Tyranids will reach me, but its what they reach and when that will matter. Because of this, | am solecting Doctrines to stiffen my ‘men's resolve. | have a high regard for Close Order Drill and Iron Discipline, which will come in very handy here, especially the Initiative bonus against Phil's Gaunts.. 0 far, this won't be enough on ts own. reed something else which will take the fight to the enemy when part of my bal line gets swamped. 20 Conscripts, § Ogryns in a Chimera and a Command HQ fil tis role well. | am also taking a unit of Storm ‘Troopers to drop in behind enemy lines and Temove any Biovores. Phil always takes these and their mines would play havoc with my tightly packed Guardsmen. Also, fhe diverts creatures away from the battle line, it means less organic spiky nastiness enveloping my soft and tasty Guardsmen! ‘So that's the army. Facing the new Tyranids is a scary prospect, but with solid discipine | hope to keep on top. The plan is simple: wear down the little things, swamp and slow down, the big things, counter-attack when necessary and run the Inquisitor like the clappers behind my lines ~ oh, and see how much of a dent the Deathwatch can make.

So | had a few words ina few ars to make sure its inaugural Battle Report would be a big one. This was going to be a 2,500 pointer against an old gaming buddy, complete with special scenario ~a classic match-up between Humanity and the invading alien horde Well | thought the best way | could stiowcase the Tyranids army was to include a brood of each unit type, and | had more than ‘enough points to do it, Besides, as tempting as itis to field an army with half a dozen ‘monstrous-creatures or a couple of hundred Gaunts, | believe the most effective pattern {for a Tyranid-army is one that includes a diverse range of unit types. The creatures that | chose for my force areas follows: The Immovable Synapse: A Hive Tyrant with venom cannon and pair of Tyrant Guard — with So many T6 Wouids this guy wll not be ping anyuhere ina hurry, and can spe some ight tanks inthe meantime 36 KLUCTMIER’S LAST STAND ‘The Sewerstalkers: A Broodlord and his retinue of super ‘stealers wil inflate near the enemy lines, popping up through the ‘tunnels and forcing Owen to split his fre or watch them chomping on vuinerable rear armour and squishy weapons teams. ‘The Phantom Menace: A single Lictor will Play hide and seek and jump out on any Guard squads or passing tanks presenting their vulnerables to a piece of terrain ‘The Warrior Elite: Two chunky squads of ‘Tyranid Warriors, one shooty, one fighty Thoy’ro pretty tooled up (devourers and rending claws respectively) and with 26 Wounds between them they will ensure my, Synapse web stays intact.

The plan is for them to butcher almost all ofthe enemy squads they contact and stay in Synapse range to weather the Inevitable counter-attacks. This way there will be plenty of squads drawn into a nice messy rmélée when the Stealers and Warriors arrive ‘The Tankbusters: Tyranids struggle with taking out tanks.
